Abstract

PURPOSE:To rotate an internal frame which is a cockpit in a right-left or up- down somersault state by driving and rotating the internal frame or an external frame by a driving tire respectively according to the screen on the cathode-ray tube in the internal frame. CONSTITUTION:When a person sits on a seat 12 by opening a door 72, wears a body holding arm 13 for safety and close the door 72, and presses a start button, the screen on the cathode-ray tube 11 changes. For, example, the pilot of a jet fighter, when there is a right-left somersault in the screen, the internal frame 7 as the cockpit is rotated by an electric motor 81 and the driving tire 8 and when there is an up-down somersault in the image plane, the external frame 4 is rotated by an electric motor 52 and a driving tire 5 as shown by an arrow, so that the internal frame 7 as the cockpit is rotated as shown by an arrow. Further, the screen on the cathode-ray tube 11 need not be related with the rotary motion of the internal and external frames 7 and 4, one to one, and the human hallucination may be utilized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention (industrial application field) The present invention relates to a simulation device for simulating the experience of a pylon 1 of a future vehicle or a fighter jet, and is particularly suitable for simulation games. Regarding.

(Prior Art) Until now, simulation devices for various sensory games have been developed and are known, but simulation devices for games that realize 360 degrees in one rotation, such as up and down somersaults or left and right somersaults, have not been put to practical use. It had not been standardized.

(Problems to be Solved) The present invention provides a simulation device that allows users to experience things such as somersaults left, right, up and down, as well as a simulated experience of negative G, as well as an unprecedented unlimited rotation. It was developed with a purpose in mind.

Present Configuration (Means for Solving the Problems) The simulation device of the present invention includes a substantially spherical ring-shaped outer frame rotatably pivoted on a base.

A drive tire of the outer frame is pressed against the outer side of the outer frame by a spring disposed on the base, and a drive tire of the outer frame is rotatably pivoted between opposing inner circumferential walls of the outer frame, which are formed in the cockpit. and a drive tire for the inner frame that is pressed against the inner side of the outer frame by a spring disposed in the inner frame.

(Function) Therefore, in the case of the pilot of a jet fighter, for example, if there is a somersault left or right on the cathode ray tube screen in the inner frame, the inner frame, which is the cockpit,
The outer frame is rotationally driven by the drive tires, and as a result, the inner frame, which is the cockpit, flips from side to side, and when there is an up and down somersault on the screen of the cathode ray tube. It is rotated into a somersault.

(Example) The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment according to the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a side view of the same as above.

The reference numeral 1 at the bottom of FIGS. 1 and 2 is a base configuring the simulation apparatus, and the base 1 is in the shape of a large thick plate with a substantially rectangular shape.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a control box which also serves as a pillar-shaped bearing, and is formed upright around one periphery of the base 1. Note that a control device (not shown) is housed in the control box 2.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a support column for bearings, which is formed upright around the base 1, facing the control box 2.

4 is an outer frame, and this outer frame 4 includes a large pivot ring 41 rotatably pivoted between a pair of control box 2 and support column 3, and fixed at right angles to this pivot ring 41. It consists of a similar large drive ring 42. Note that an arcuate arm 45 for the power supply line and the signal line is fixed between the pivot ring 41 and the drive ring 42 near the control box 2.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a drive tire of the outer frame 4, which is pressed against the outer side of the drive ring 42 by a spring 51 disposed on the base 1. Reference numeral 52 designates an electric motor for the drive tire 5. By controlling this electric motor 52, the outer frame 4 is driven to rotate about the fixed axis 43.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an appropriately arranged auxiliary tire. This auxiliary tire is used to stabilize the rotation of the outer frame 4, and is pressed against the outer side of the drive ring 42 by a spring 61 disposed on the base 1. ing.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an inner frame. The inner frame 7 is formed into a hollow, substantially disc-shaped cockpit, and is rotatably pivoted between opposing inner circumferential walls of the drive ring 42.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a driving tire of the inner frame 7, and the pivot ring 41 is
It is pressed to the inside side. Reference numeral 81 denotes an electric motor for the drive tire 8. By controlling this electric motor 81, the inner frame 7 is rotationally driven around the movement axis 71.

9 is an auxiliary tire arranged as appropriate;
is for stabilizing the rotation of the inner frame 7, and is pressed against the inner side of the pivot ring 41 by a spring (path shown) disposed in the inner frame 7.

Note that although the driving tires 8 and the electric motor 81 are arranged above the inner frame 7, it goes without saying that they may be replaced with the auxiliary tires 9 and arranged below the inner frame 7. Also, I actually tried omitting the auxiliary tire 9, but
In practice, there were no particular problems.

In the inner frame 7, which is a hollow, substantially disk-shaped cockpit, a door 72 is appropriately provided on the peripheral wall on the side of the control box 2 so as to be openable and closable.
A seat 12, a body support arm 13 for safety, a control stick 14, etc. are stored.

Note that the power line for the entire device is connected to the control box 2, for example.
The electric motor 81 is connected to the electric motor 81 through the rotary connection device 21 inside, the fixed axis shaft 44, the arm 45, the movable axis shaft 73, the rotation connection device 74 inside the inner frame 7, etc.
, cathode ray tube 11, etc.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that signal lines for a control device (not shown) such as a CPU are also connected in the same manner as the above-mentioned power supply lines.

In this embodiment, which has the above-mentioned configuration, the user opens the door 72, sits down on the seat 12, puts on the body support arm 13 for safety, closes the door 72, and then presses a start button (not shown). , the image on the cathode ray tube 11 changes. For example, if you are playing the role of a jet fighter pilot and there is a somersault left or right on the screen, the electric motor 81 and drive tires 8 will move the inner frame 7, which is the cockpit, to the second When it is rotated as shown by the arrow in the figure and there is a somersault up and down on the screen, the electric motor 52 and drive tires 5 rotate the outer frame 4 once as shown by the arrow in FIG. As a result, the inner frame 7 which is the cockpit
is rotated as shown by the arrow in FIG.

It goes without saying that the relationship between the screen of the cathode ray tube 11 and the interpolation of the inner and outer frames 7.4 does not have to correspond in a pairwise manner, and human illusions may be used. Of course.

The present invention has the following effects: With an extremely simple configuration, it is possible to experience left and right somersaults and up and down somersaults, as well as simulate negative G, and even experience unlimited rotation. There is.
